    I have cut nothing from my lifestyle, as restriction and denial of food on the grounds that it may be 'bad' is a recipe for failure - at least as far as I'm concerned.

    On second thought, I have cut two things from my lifestyle - hating how I look and hating how I feel.

    I've cut out the notion that I need to cut things out of my diet.

    Me too! :)

    My dh and I were just talking about this because I was the person that was always dumping sauce, or dressing, or butter, or the like all over my food. I just don't do that any more. I want healthy fats in my meals so I save my fat calories for avocados, olive oil, walnuts, almonds and I don't even miss the sauces.

    Also sweets, I just don't have a craving for them anymore, which is so surprising to me, but there it is.

    I agree with michael1976, the smell of fast food just nauseates me so I have cut that out of my life (it was a 2-3 time a week habit).

    Huge portions of anything, and personally I try to stay away from most decadent dessert items. I won't give up my ice cream, but I try to stay away from cakes and cookies because they're my real vice - baked goods! Oh, and regular soda. Every once in a while I'll crave one like nobody's business, but at those times I'll just have a diet and it will hit the spot.

    I've tried not to cut anything else, because I don't want a day to come where I fall off the wagon and eat everything in sight. If I want something, I just have a little of it.

    Excuses
    Self-pity
    Nap time

    I couldn't give up nap time!

    But seriously I gave up doughnuts (because they jack my blood sugar bad and I hate how crappy I feel like that)

    No soda, no junk or highly processed foods, no alcohol, no white/starchy carbs (whole grains only), no artificial sweeteners. I tried to cut out coffee but failed miserably, lol.

    I still enjoy all the goodies, just reasonable portions and as it fits in my goals. And I don't just sit on my butt all day anymore.

    I've cut out the idea that I can't have things and tried to focus on fitting treats in weekly within my MFP daily allowances.....cake or champagne or steak or cheese and crackers....just not all on the same day or ALL the time, lol. Treats are what make life joyful some days.

    love this! so true. Everything in moderation.

    I never really ate pop or cereal, so those were never an issue for me. However, since following my nutrition plan I've discovered I'm sensitive to wheat and dairy (ie. My tummy doesn't like me when I eat them and I get bloated for several days) so I cut out dairy and wheat completely and I really don't miss it at all anymore. :)

    Excuses, lack of informed decisions about food and exercise, and the idea that I need to cut food choices out simply to lose or maintain weight.

    You got this!!! Good luck... I struggle as well... I smoke or or two in a day sometimes.. then I go weeks without smoking at all... Its very hard to quit. way harder than dieting.

    I have not really cut much of anything...all food is good! :D

    I guess when I think about it...I don't drink regular sodas or juices. Other than that....i pretty much eat the same as I always have - just less of it and more balanced.

    I am down to five a day from 20-something. Smoke one or two a day and you are likely to die from something else.

    I dont really cut things out but I do buy things according to how it will help my weight loss and not hinder it. With that being said,I will say juice.

    I've cut out the notion that I need to cut things out of my diet.

    Same :smile:

    Ditto - I never drank much soda, juice, etc. Thankfully I had really good eating habits to start with. All my sweets were homemade with quality ingredients.

    I guess I gave up improper portion sizes. Who knew a portion of healthy nuts was so tiny.

    The only thing I've cut is the size of my portions and the amount of oil to cook things in
